Celebrities
and Business titans joined forces to discuss issues affecting
our Asian global community. Committee of 100, a national, non-politically
aligned organization met in Los Angeles to honor leaders in Entertainment
and Technology.
AsianConnections
brought our broadcast news team led by our own legendary interviewer,
ten time Emmy award-winner Mario Machado, to bring to you exclusive
online video interviews and highlights of the conference, from
thought-provoking comments from Yahoo!'s Jerry Yang to Hollywood
mogul Christopher Lee.
AC
will bring to you highlights of our interviews showcasing these
distinguished leaders.
Pioneer
broadcast television news journalist Bill Moyers gave a moving
speech on the lack of historical documentation of the history
of Chinese in America. Moyers is busy working on a new documentary
series on Chinese Americans. Moyers said, "No matter how powerful
we are --- no matter how rich or successful or celebrated -- we
will never be truly heard, until our ancestors have spoken. I
want this series to give them their voice back."

Committee
of 100's Conference Chair Matthew Fong opened the session by urging
the attendees to, "re-think, re-shape, or reform what you are
doing today." Fong said, "Not only take time to celebrate who
we are, but to challenge each other into what we can become."
Conference
Co-Chair Janet Yang, executive director of the acclaimed motion
picture "Joy Luck Club," brought together the co-stars of this
ground-breaking movie. It was one of those rare occasions where
you could meet Dr. Pehong Chen, Chairman of Broadvision; Dr. Raymond
Ch'ien, Chairman of China.com; Tom Yuen, Chairman of SRS Labs;
Ms. Lisa Ling, co-host of ABC-TV's "The View;" and Ming-Na, actress
"Joy Luck Club" - literally all in one room. And they were just
a few of the distinguished attendees.
